As translator of Spanish I saw this issue one year ago. Numista in English uses different expressions to refer the same concept.

I posted, in the translators forum, the expressions founded and my suggestion to use the same name in the whole site. It might be helpful here. I am copying here that message (more expressions could have been added in other pages over the last year).

Use the same name for year/variety/date/mintage lines in the whole site
https://en.numista.com/forum/topic148244.html (translators forum)

 

When I translated to Spanish the website interface, the lines with years or varieties in pages of coins/banknotes/exonumia was named “variety lines” and “year lines”.

 

I translated some FAQ articles and I found other expressions for the same concept:

• expressions used by the interface: variety line / year line
• date-line, used by these FAQs:

Mintage line have different names along the site. They should have the same name and it must be sense for coins and banknotes:

• I do not know if “mintage line” is correct for banknotes.
• I found “ligne de tirage” in the French site https://fr.numista.com/help/tirages-135.html. In Spanish, “líneas de tirada” is valid for coins and banknotes.
• Really, the mintage https://en.numista.com/help/mintage-139.html is a number included in these lines. The name “issue line” can be better. Does it make sense?
• There are pages with “year line” without year (ND).

 

Edit: After translating more FAQs into Spanish, I like (EN) “issue line” / (ES) “línea de emisión” more and more.
